Abstract The complement system is a crucial part of innate immune defences against invading pathogens. The blood-meal of the tick Rhipicephalus pulchellus lasts for days, and the tick must therefore rely on inhibitors to counter complement activation. We have identified a novel class of inhibitors f...
